It’s always nice to get together with “old” friends and catch-up on families and careers… Jerry Heidenreich and Dick Peacock are two gentlemen that I met early in my working career while I was providing engineering support at TRW Globe Motors. Dick is still head of operations for the Globe Motors Dayton facility, and I’m pretty certain that he is aiming for the longevity award. Jerry is the person that took a chance on me when I started my first company… Interestingly, Jerry and I worked together to optimize the Globe Motors die casting operation almost 15 years ago. It was redeeming to hear that they’re still using many of the modernizations we introduced long ago.
